Bug ID: 489288
Summary: File transfer fails if it contains a question mark,
semicolon or quotes
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-extras
Version: 24.05.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: MTP
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andrea.i...@gmail.com
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
I connected my Pixel 8 Pro to copy some (MP3) music from Dolphin.
When the copy process reaches certain files, it hangs indefinitely. Canceling
the process also makes the MTP device no longer usable until it's disconnected
and reconnected.
I tried to isolate the problem, and the files causing all contain some special
characters. The ones I could confirm to be causing trouble are `?`, `:`, `"`
Weirdly enough, if I try to transfer a dummy TEXT file instead (containing one
of those chars), I get immediately a popup informing me the file cannot be
transferred.
This is not the case when transferring MP3s, though. Even if I try to transfer
just ONE MP3 containing one of those characters, the copy still starts without
any warning, and hangs.
If I expand the ongoing copy notification, I can see that the target file name
contains the special character as an URL-escaped sequence (e.g. `%3F` for `?`)
